Jun 20, 2026Salsa Cassidy Aluminum Frameset, Brand New
$1000 USDBrand new (never used/never built) Cassidy frame shock and other small parts that come with a new frame. I was planning to build this up but situations have changed. Can run with a 170 or 180mm fork, 29" wheels or mixed. Here is the information from Salsa:
(local pickup or buyer pays shipping, Firm on price but if you are trying to get a few $$ off, you had better be prepared to handle shipping completely and send me the shipping label)
Cassidy is Salsa’s 165/180 (R-F) mm enduro 29er (or mixed wheel) built for seeking the truly technical trails of the world and taking them head-on. It’s an aggressive descent hunter that shows no fear when the going gets rowdy. Cassidy is resolute when flying down rocky, steep, rutted-out descents and has remarkable climbing prowess. With Split Pivot suspension dialed for maximum traction and pedaling efficiency, Cassidy relishes enduro courses and big terrain.
6061-T6 aluminum frame
Split Pivot + suspension design features 165 mm of efficient travel that’s fully active under braking and supportive throughout its stroke
A 63.8-degree head tube angle provides confidence and handling prowess both up and down the mountain
Rear Flip chip adjusts the head tube angle and bottom bracket height to accommodate varying terrain, wheel sizes, and personal preference
75.7-degree seat tube angle with seat tube lengths optimized for longer dropper posts
Super Boost 157 x 12mm rear hub spacing allows for shorter chainstays (431–432 mm), more tire clearance, more chainring options, and stiffer wheels
Integrated strap location on frame for tube or tool kit
Clearance for up to 29 x 2.6" or 27.5 x 3.0" tires

Bike Check: The 170mm Custom Steel Zoceli Built for Schwalbe’s 32" Tires
A 32" wheel on a fork with offsets designed for 29" wheel. Have we learned nothing?

Testing a 32" Mega Mullet Downhill Bike Against the Clock
You really need to run this test again with a fork with offsets optimized for a 32" wheel, instead of stuffing a 32" wheel into a fork optimized for a 29" wheel. Too much trail makes with make the front wheel feel unwieldy (regardless of the diameter). What is really amazing is that the test pilot still had better times riding a bike with poor fork geometry.

Video: Neko Mulally Testing the Frameworks 32" Mega Mullet
The data we are currently getting off 32" wheels is not going to be particularly useful until any fork manufacturer builds a test fork with the correct offsets for a 32" wheel, instead of just using 29" wheel offsets. At current fork offsets you would need to be running about a 72 degree head angle, and that's going to suck offroad regardless of the wheel diameter. We already learned all this going from 26" to 29" and it is frustrating watching the bike industry repeat the same mistakes over and over.

@Muscovir: As is your comment! Until larger wheels came into play, taller riders never did well trying to shoehorn themselves into very awkwardly designed 26" bikes. Its not an unfair advantage if it scales with the size of their bike.

@SintraFreeride: They measure the OD of the tire in MTB, not the rim diameter like in road biking.
